The picture above is of Regina Station in Corsica, for those of you who didn't guess it.
I've moved it from the heading into this post, and put another in it's place. Taken in 2005, somewhere in Europe...

We had an excellent evening at Charles house last Tuesday, discussing the way ahead with our next projected layout. We are seriously contemplating modelling Crymmych Arms (as it was spelt back in those far off Cardi-Bach days)
We are opting for N gauge, to make it easier to transport around to various venues. The gauge clashes with our other cardi-Bach layouts, as they are in 3mm scale, but they are awkward to cart about, and acquiring bits and pieces for that scale is not the easiest - particularly considering the track and point configuration that was at Crymych. Colin is experienced in building in 'N', Patrick has dabbled with it, and I hate 3mm, (which means Mike will never speak to me again) so it's sorted. We start the track plan next week at Colins.
Plus we have promised to have a new layout to show at two venues next year. (oh dear...)

Anyhow, at Chas's, Pat brought along two 009 locos that he built last week, using tiny Japanese chassis and bodies that were made by a 3D printer. A commercial one, not a home job. Pat did paint jobs on both of them and added handrails and glazing.

I also took another shot of Colins new loco that we ran at the Woolen Mill:

The evening ended quite convivially, as our Chuffer-Duffer meetings so often tend to do...

No meeting next week, as we have a Cardi-Bach meeting at Login Station.
Thanks for logging in,

Shaun.
